... is the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. It is a privately owned railway, serving no other purpose than just pure fun. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public in general, but does allow visitors on special occasions.
SBR owns a large collection of Hunslet engines, and other interesting creations of the British locomotive industry.
Enjoy this little video!
I thought from the heading this would be about Sherman Hill on the UP. But it is fascinating and charming.

No, not Sherman Hill, but Tamworth in Staffordshire/UK.
Here is the track plan of Mr. Lee´s little layout:
That is quite a collection of locomotives. I even noticed an 0-4-4-0; a black loco around minute 8. Also a line of dual gauge track.

More natural greenery than all of Clark County!
I particularly noticed the elevated cylinder loco - pistons drive the top of a pair of lever arms, main rods connected to the bottoms. Anyone have any idea why that arrangement was adopted?

Chuck - good question, next question. I have been trying to find out, why this rather strange arrangement was adoped, but did not find an answer. All I know is, that this specfic loco was built by L. Corpet in France in the year 1886 for a quarry operation in Spain (Minas de Aller). I actually see no reason for this indirect drive, other than may be length.
